the mary poppins lady was amazing! love her attitude. and the tarzan one...i knew she looked familiar but after i googled her i saw that she's starring in greenleaf!
I don't know honestly Heather sounds a bit like Beyonce tho. They both have dark toned deep voices with Beyonce maybe being a bit lighter then Heather. I do prefer Beyonce's version of 'Can you feel the love tonight" tho Nala was supposed to sound a bit more lighter and younger then what Heather's voice sounds like.
trha2222 Ariel is a fictional character. Her race has nothing to do with the story. She’s white and redhead because the person who drew her, made her that way. She could literally be green and it would have no affect on The story. The little mermaid isn’t apart of anyone’s culture. It’s a children’s story that we watched as kids and as a black man yes I watched it. I had the vhs. Mulan, Merida, tiana, Pocahontas, moana are all characters whose Race/culture is draped in the story. Cinderella, belle, Ariel, aurora, rapunzel, Elsa, Anna can literally be white, black, pink, blue or green because there race has nothing to do with the story. Also, I’m pretty sure you mean white washing. White washing is making cleopatra white, making Jesus white, making the last samurai white, making a Japanese anime character white. Cultural appropriation is taking something from another culture and passing it off as your own. Just because they are casting black women In more roles now, doesn’t mean that there are many opportunities. There were 6 ladies on this stage and only one of them is black. That is a total lack of diversity.
trha2222 The fact that you think race is this important when it comes to casting a FICTIONAL MERMAID, means that race is an issue for you and you should consult someone about your racist habits. It’s “stealing”? Wow.
Wow Heather really brought me into my childhood with Whitney vibes like no other. Not to mention Ashley had a sonically pitch perfect performance they both were flawless. I love the diversity in styles here it’s truly lovely !
Merle’s voice is amazing she can go from kind and motherly as Kala to mischievous and sinister as Papa Ge. Heather is as always a powerhouse and Susan Egan still sounds the same as she did 20+ years ago.
I've ALWAYS been in love with Heather Hedley's voice😍 I never knew Merle Dandridge (Grace Greenleaf) could sing, she has such a beautiful voice!! Caissie Levy as Elsa on Broadway is PHENOMENAL❤
It's actually so wonderful how Heather, Susan, Ashley and Merle still sound the same as they did when they were on Broadway. Also, Heather Headley said "Y'all are about to LOSE YOUR WIGS"
She was really performing it and not just singing. Even playing to the camera angles. But I think because it is a more sing-songy song and the other ladies had songs with more challenging vocals.
Heather Headley grew up in my hometown. She comes back occasionally to do concerts & support the community. Was here just last week doing a fundraiser concert. Love her!
Heather Headley , you betta shut up and keep on singing. You gave that song all kinds of life without even trying. Ashley Brown , Love your voice as well.
This was absolutely spectacular and everyone did a freaking fantastic job, however I have to agree with most of the comments in regards to Heather's performance, she was surely the best of the bunch.
Too bad they didn’t let Susan Egan also sing I won’t say I’m in love from Hercules with the others as the muses. Yes I know it’s not a Broadway musical but still that’s a great song
Me: *Sees title* Also me: *sees Heather Headley in the thumbnail* Me again: Heather Headley, Oh my gosh!!!! I've got to see this!!!! Edit: And yes, she absolutely slayed without even standing!!!!
This was an amazing segment! Heather Headey, Ashley Brown, and Susan Egan still have it. I wished they invited Courtney Reed (OG Jasmine) and Sierra Boggess (OG Ariel) to the party!
Oof, these female singers are amazing. I cried with The Lion King and Tarzan songs. Broadway singers are so much different than your regular ol pop sounds. They’re style is so much more! Super talented. Thanks for sharing your vocal gifts with us.
Heather Headley and her husband had another child earlier this year. She's was on Chicago Med earlier this year (very pregnant) also, not sure if she's going back to it.
I was questioning that myself and technically it is The Lion KING which means, if I am remembering the film correctly, and I'm certain that I am,, it is led by a MALE, Nala may be in in but sorry the movie revolves around a male lion and his male heir son Simba, Nala is the friend/mate nothing more.
And also. I know they advertise for Broadway Cares, but this is clearly well crafted Disney propaganda geared toward getting people fired up over Frozen again because the new movie is coming out. They start with Frozen and end with Frozen and specifically plug that both ladies from Frozen are on Broadway right now.
@@MeAVE243 Isn't that more of a marketing tactic rather than propaganda though? Like it's not necessarily political and is probably just a way to boost sales. I get that propaganda can be described as a way to make people feel a certain thing (which in this case is interest for Frozen 2), but at the same time it could just be marketing for the Disney shows and movies.
Heather is the only one sitting so chill and groovy like we're in the living room with her. I miss Susan's portayal of Belle so much I want her back. I wanna see them! They're so phenomenal!
My goosebumps have goosebumps! Gah, and that ending?! How all their voices just melded together in amazingness! Every single lady on that stage slayed and I'm so glad I got to see it! ❤️
0:56 for the first time in forever / frozen 1:33 can you feel the love tonight / The lion king and Aida 2:36 supercalifragilisticexpialidocious / Mary Poppins 3:18 you’ll be in my heart / Tarzan 3:59 Ever just the same / Beauty and the beast 4:30 let it go / frozen
All of these girls are fabulous! I’ve never heard Ashley brown sing and I fell in love! I saw both caissie and patti in frozen in broadway and they were absolutely incredible!
God, I forgot how much I love Susan Egan. Her voice is so distinct and clear and full of character without being obtuse about it- it just makes me melt into whatever she sings 💖
Oh my God they are all amazing singers.😮😮😮😮 And might I add they are all heavenly beautiful like they were touched by heaven itself with its purity and majesticness.
Right now she's in that terrible production of Ever After: the Musical. It just left Atlanta and is opening in Minnesota. I saw it so you don't have to
I can imagine the storyline tension with Charity on Greenleaf lol if Grace sings on the show her reaction would be one more thing she can do to compete with me and possibly outshine me lol
Lol. Heather Headley was like, if I stand up to sing my solo, the rest of you will be demolished.
hahhahahaha yes
Facts
Aj Raven so true!!!
She's like...don't wanna shame you ladies...
More like I’m lazy and I want to sing the song in my own key cause I’m a diva like that. 😂
I love how Heather didn’t even need to get up to slay us
🙌🏾
I had no clue she was actress, her album In My Mind is a classic.
The seated slay.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Just chillin’
Love her!!!!!
Heather Headley is just a pure Broadway goddess! And that’s why she got to originate iconic roles as Nala and Aida! ❤️
She shldve sang easy as life for this show
If you get a chance listen to her songs. I wish I wasn't, he is, me time
She had to dial hers back a bit, by sitting down.
RIGHT?!? I was just thinking that. As beautiful singers the others are, HH was the only one to give me goosebumps.
Heather didn't have to go that hard for us, but she did. She killed me
Mind you, it was effortless at the same time; plus she was literally sitting 😍
the mary poppins lady was amazing! love her attitude.
and the tarzan one...i knew she looked familiar but after i googled her i saw that she's starring in greenleaf!
Yep! Grace/Gigi OOOOOH!! Maybe they'll do a musical version of Greenleaf!! Keith David, 'nuff said.
Grace Greenleaf
Susan Egan is great live! Also for anyone who didn’t know, Susan Egan was the voice of Meg in Hercules.
Only came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned her also voicing Meg!
I’m seeing her in March. So excited.
Maybe that's why she's wearing purple
She also voices rose quartz
And she voices someone in spirited away
Love Beyonce BUT Heather should have played the voice of Nala in the movie!
OMG RIGHT?!
There was a lot of choices, Beyonce just has the clout.
She. Is. Amazing
I totally agree, Beyonce is great but Heather would be perfect for the live action Nala.
I don't know honestly Heather sounds a bit like Beyonce tho. They both have dark toned deep voices with Beyonce maybe being a bit lighter then Heather. I do prefer Beyonce's version of 'Can you feel the love tonight" tho Nala was supposed to sound a bit more lighter and younger then what Heather's voice sounds like.
I just want Heather Headley to follow me around and narrate my life through song.
2 years later and still so accurate
omg I adore Merle Dandridge. She was so amazing in "Once on this Island" And Heather Headey is always such a queen
@trha2222 from this performance?
trha2222 well there weren’t many opportunities for women of color in Disney/broadway.
trha2222 Ariel is a fictional character. Her race has nothing to do with the story. She’s white and redhead because the person who drew her, made her that way.

@@HEADLESSwebcam exactly, mermaids don't even exist. Lol
Someone’s missing
The Legendary Lea Salonga
Jer Galz probably cause she was the movie singing voice and not the broadway leading lady
She didnt originate on broadway :(
She never originated any broadway disney musical
SAME
No she’s not. She’s not on the list at all.
Wow Heather really brought me into my childhood with Whitney vibes like no other. Not to mention Ashley had a sonically pitch perfect performance they both were flawless. I love the diversity in styles here it’s truly lovely !
Heather proved she still got it
trha2222 how can you hate The Lion King? It’s AMAZING on Broadway!
trha2222 it was the best live show I have ever seen. It’s totally different on stage.
Yes!!!
trha2222 The Movie is okay but the song is better
and always will
Heather Headley's singing gave me goosebumps down my back.
Heather Headley is the best. She killed it sitting down. That woman can sang!!!!
Sierra Boggess, Courtney Rhodes Reeds, and Kara Lindsey have left the chat.
These ladies all still have crazy schedules, they probably got as many as they could.
Ciara Renée forgotten as well...
@@dmnetinho this is only for Disney on Broadway. Hunchback did not make it to broadway
Sierra boggess is such an angel if you ever get to meet her in person she is so sweet and encouraging to young musical theater students ❤️❤️
RIGHT??
I loved how heather’s voice cracks just a little bit and she recovers so perfectly. Like, everyone stop, we’ve got a killer musician on our hands
Agreed, she recovered faster than you could blink...lol...true professional.
Where lol
Merle’s voice is amazing she can go from kind and motherly as Kala to mischievous and sinister as Papa Ge. Heather is as always a powerhouse and Susan Egan still sounds the same as she did 20+ years ago.

Also, Heather Headley said "Y'all are about to LOSE YOUR WIGS"
Nobody’s talking about Ashley when she’s the only one who delivered a pitch perfect performance
I hit the 👍🏾 bouton when she started singing
I feel like Ashley’s song is the easiest to sing? Because of the way the song is?
She was really performing it and not just singing. Even playing to the camera angles. But I think because it is a more sing-songy song and the other ladies had songs with more challenging vocals.
That’s the hardest song lmao
You’re right. She was my favorite.
Heather Headley grew up in my hometown. She comes back occasionally to do concerts & support the community. Was here just last week doing a fundraiser concert. Love her!
They all they a great job, esp at the end w/ let it go. But, Heather killed 😍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!
auto correct?
Mary Poppins SLAY
Sierra Boggess and Courtney Reed say hi.
Justin omg! So true
And Kara Lindsay from Newsies!
What about About Kara Lindsay "Katherine Plumber", Courtney Reed "Jasmine" and Sierra Boggess ""Ariel"?
Most of them will be joining for the benefit concert on Monday.
I only clicked because I thought the redhead on the thumbnail was Sierra 😞
Heather Headley you better sit girl!!!!
Heather Headley , you betta shut up and keep on singing.
You gave that song all kinds of life without even trying.
Ashley Brown , Love your voice as well.
Heather Headley is on another level.
*4:50** when the other voices were sang together. Goosebumps*
This was absolutely spectacular and everyone did a freaking fantastic job, however I have to agree with most of the comments in regards to Heather's performance, she was surely the best of the bunch.
Becky Hatfield she’s the only one with true talent I didn’t love the other voices bleh but heather and I guess Susan were the memorable voices!!
Agree
Love Heather giving straight up Whitney vibes tapping on that mic
Her tone reminds me of Whitney.
And Natalie Cole vibes
Too bad they didn’t let Susan Egan also sing I won’t say I’m in love from Hercules with the others as the muses. Yes I know it’s not a Broadway musical but still that’s a great song
Bryce Miller coming to Broadway soon! :)
Heather Hadley is beautiful.
Egbert Carr Been a fan of her since she released her first solo CD This Is Who I Am
Crickey the accent on the first girl was crazy.
I agree
She's very nasal, I should say.
What accent is that?
Her voice was so grating
What was up with that!? Lol
Susan Egan is a LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These women has some powerful voices. I love it. Ms Heather, voice sent chills, bravo.
Me: *Sees title*
Also me: *sees Heather Headley in the thumbnail*
Me again: Heather Headley, Oh my gosh!!!! I've got to see this!!!!
Edit: And yes, she absolutely slayed without even standing!!!!
I just wish Heather sang some Aida. I feel like it’s the forgotten Disney musical, and it’s really one of the best.
This was an amazing segment! Heather Headey, Ashley Brown, and Susan Egan still have it. I wished they invited Courtney Reed (OG Jasmine) and Sierra Boggess (OG Ariel) to the party!
Navya Singh Kara is quite pregnant at the moment and she is always so busy because she’s such a legend
Heather and Merle are drop dead gorgeous!! Ashley Brown brought me back to the good old days🫶🏼🥰
HEATHER IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING TO ME
I know this is for Broadway but whenever I hear Susan Egan I can only hear Meg from Hercules...
Jacob Moore for real tho
I hear Pink/Rose in addition to Meg lol
Why did they have her sing Mrs Potts' song?! She needed Belle's song! Megs song is my fave Disney song
omg yes
Or Rose Quartz.
OMG they were amazing all of them fantastic i really wishd Lea Salonga was there to she is a Brodway legend
Francisca Hidalgo unfortunately, she’s not a Disney Broadway Legend (though she is a Disney Legend)
She's a Disney legend, she's a Broadway legend, but she not a Disney Broadway legend 😢
Oof, these female singers are amazing. I cried with The Lion King and Tarzan songs. Broadway singers are so much different than your regular ol pop sounds. They’re style is so much more! Super talented. Thanks for sharing your vocal gifts with us.
Susan Egan still has such a beautiful voice. That's so remarkable. And the ending completely caught me by surprise
Haven't seen Heather Hedley in years, I always said she is so underrated..I wonder will Merle ever sing on Greenleaf..
yes all Heather's music is good
I was hoping she would sing in Last Week's episode of Greenleaf, but Charity just had to cause trouble
Heather Headley and her husband had another child earlier this year. She's was on Chicago Med earlier this year (very pregnant) also, not sure if she's going back to it.
She's on Chicago Med
@@butterliz876 👍
Heather never lost it still love her music and her name is an alliteration like mine
"all led by strong leading ladies" yes newsies is led by strong hyper acrobatic leading ladies
I snorted...
I was questioning that myself and technically it is The Lion KING which means, if I am remembering the film correctly, and I'm certain that I am,, it is led by a MALE, Nala may be in in but sorry the movie revolves around a male lion and his male heir son Simba, Nala is the friend/mate nothing more.
@@Forgotten_Lore True, same with Tarzan.
jrasicmark1 and technically the leading lady is Jane not Kala unless in the show kala has more to do than Jane
Maybe it's meant to be just a fancy way to say "leading female roles"
Ya’ll are acting like they probably didn’t try to ask the other female leads to join and they most likely couldn’t because of conflicting schedules.
And also. I know they advertise for Broadway Cares, but this is clearly well crafted Disney propaganda geared toward getting people fired up over Frozen again because the new movie is coming out. They start with Frozen and end with Frozen and specifically plug that both ladies from Frozen are on Broadway right now.

Merle singing the Tarzan song is my fav!!
Can you feel the love tonight❤️ one of my favorite childhood Disney songs.
I love how Let It Go always closes these types of performances! It's just so good and empowering that it's the best closing song
EVERY SINGLE LADY DELIVERED...
Beautiful, Amazing and Lovely...
Took me back in time with a huge smile on my face... 😀😍🥰🤩
No Sierra from Little Mermaid? And no love for AIDA, after Heather won the tony for it?
Yeah, I know Rip!!
I don't know why Disney always seems to ignore Aida considering it was one of their best and most successful Broadway musicals.
Extraordinary and empowered women! Look how proud they were seeing their co-singers hitting those notes!
My goosebumps have goosebumps! Gah, and that ending?! How all their voices just melded together in amazingness! Every single lady on that stage slayed and I'm so glad I got to see it! ❤️
wow susan egans voice was smooth like magic
Sooooo much talent on this stage.....❤️ Heather Headly is one of the most under rated songstress ever!!
Omg. I loved the marry Poppins. She was so good and also the lady who sang the Tarzan song. My two favorite.
Oh my gosh, why am I crying!! This was very beautiful. I feel so much Joy 🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭😭💚💜❤💜❤💚
Me tooo!! ❤️
Ashley Brown is amazinggg
I was mesmerized the moment Heather started to sing
Thank you Disney, this segment put a smile on my face. 😁😁😁

I saw Susan Egan in a production of Beauty and the Beast last year and she seriously still has it. She puts on such a fantastic and effortless show.
She still played Belle in 2018??
@@salkdiaz She did! I don't know if it was a limited show but I saw her in the show in July 2018. It was a smaller production, not Broadway.
Susan Egan is the girl who sang "I won't say I'm in Love" from Hercules....love her voice!!!
She actually fully voiced Megara
I love how they enjoy listening to each other
Wow I love when they came together to sing Let it go!!!!!
All of these girls are fabulous! I’ve never heard Ashley brown sing and I fell in love! I saw both caissie and patti in frozen in broadway and they were absolutely incredible!
Did anyone else get chills at the end!?!
They are all so beautiful ! With melodic voices have me goosebumps! I always wanted to take in a Broadway musical one day
Please do! You'll love it. Sending love to you my fellow Bahamian 💛🇧🇸
Ashley had so much charm, it was captivating and classy!
Omg heather has the most amazing voice...gave me chills....!!!

1. That
Nice

I screamed!
Heather Headley is the best... She is amazing! 😍😍😍😍
God, I forgot how much I love Susan Egan. Her voice is so distinct and clear and full of character without being obtuse about it- it just makes me melt into whatever she sings 💖
Heather Headley was absolutely breathtaking. They all did amazing. Just realized Kristen Bell looks very similar to Susan.
Oh my God they are all amazing singers.😮😮😮😮 And might I add they are all heavenly beautiful like they were touched by heaven itself with its purity and majesticness.
I had chills during the ahimè video
Love Susan Egan she voice a couple of Studio Ghibli characters!
Heather should have sang Shadowland ❤️❤️
Anne-Sophie Lépine Landry
Yes!
Wow! I loved this. Too often these artistes don't get the recognition they deserve because we don't know their names or their faces...keep it coming👏👏
Where is Sierra repping "The Little Mermaid"??
Should have traded Sierra for Patti.
And Courtney repping Jasmine
She will be at the benefit concert...this was a sneak peek of concert. All couldn't get to The View but will be at the charity concert.
Right now she's in that terrible production of Ever After: the Musical. It just left Atlanta and is opening in Minnesota. I saw it so you don't have to
Always love the bubbly song of Mary Poppins, Ashley did such a great job
OMG I had no idea Grace aka Pastor Greenleaf could sing! And I need another album from Heather
I can imagine the storyline tension with Charity on Greenleaf lol if Grace sings on the show her reaction would be one more thing she can do to compete with me and possibly outshine me lol
Josh Roberts I’d pay to watch that moment. Lmao
So nostalgic 😭 Gotta admit that Frozen held its own against the hardest hitting singles in Broadway history!!
Heather Headey was so gooood ! amazing
Heather Headley just class!💪🏻😍🕺🏼
That was nice. How I wish they also had Sierra Boggess and Courtney Reed. 💞
That ending though! My chills have chills!!!!
Out of respect for the audience’s hairlines, the producers asked Heather not to sing shadowland.

You go Nala. Stunning voice and stunning visually as well.
